Yeah, I have seen data from old stuff lying around. Even when the calc
crashes, the reset just seems to reset the VAT. There _are_ a couple of
weird things in the VAT. There's the Ans variable, which makes sense. But
there are also two programs called ! and #. One of them seems to be 7 bytes
long, and the other seems to be 0 (?) bytes long. I tried renaming one of
them to A. It worked fine while the jmv was running, but when I quit, it
hung the calc.

That sounds right.

ROM stands for Read-Only Memory. In other words, you can't write to it.
